Yes you are offcourse right - and "play" is even more natural (if you have
got that on you remote). Most people look at what is on the screen (colour
bars/tex) below the first couple of times - after that they (might) remember
the key to use. But changing keys that one has been using for a long time is
"disturbing" ;)

It could be "solved" the following way :
If I press "1" it shows the recordings commands and first entry selected and
I would then have to press OK to activate :) (key 2 would select the second
entry aso.)
